Chapter 12: Rabbit Teaches “Analect”

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone looked startled at this.

Cong Xue said, “We can’t even kill monsters. How are we going to get equipment?”

Wang Mingchen smiled. “Have you forgotten? There are often some novice missions in the Beginner’s Village. There’s no need to fight or kill for these missions. You just have to run errands and get paid in between. It’s not a lot of money, but with so many players, it won’t be a problem for us to buy some good equipment from the blacksmith.”

As soon as he said this, everyone came to a realization!

“Yes, yes! This is a good idea!” Yue Wei was overjoyed and shouted.

Everyone also felt that this method was feasible, so they started the mobilization meeting…

The players all wanted to level up and kill their way out of the Beginner’s Village. They hated rabbits to the core. Now that they heard that there was a chance to turn the tables, all 6,000 of them raised their hands in agreement!

In the next moment, people began to wander around the Beginner’s Village. Soon, some small missions were discovered. 6,000 people began to line up to run the missions. The money earned from the missions was gathered in the hands of the gang leaders and then arranged in unison.

However, almost all 6,000 people had died once. Some had even died twice. They had more or less lost one or two pieces of equipment, and only had four pieces of novice equipment which consisted of clothes, pants, shoes, and a wooden saber.

There were fewer weapons dropped, and more pants dropped. Therefore, there was an extremely strange scene in the Beginner’s Village. The ground was filled with small triangular pants and long legs running around. Those who knew about it were human players from the Beginner’s Village. Those who didn’t know would think that it was a special poverty-stricken household in a poor mountain area giving out supplementary food.

Over here, Yi Zheng tiptoed and saw all of this clearly. Then, he guessed the intentions of the human players.

“Hehe… Gathering equipment, right? What equipment can a Level 1 player wear? Even if all of you wear equipment, I’m not afraid!” Yi Zheng laughed happily.

What he was most worried about now was that the players would avoid fighting. If they squatted in the Beginner’s Village and did not come out, he would not have the experience to eat.

The players were moving. That meant they still had to fight. There was no need to find a way to lure them.

Of course, Yi Zheng was not idle.

After two major battles, he discovered that the biggest weakness of rabbits was their low intelligence!

Although it was better than those chickens that foolishly jumped into the river, it was still not enough.

Therefore, Yi Zheng decided to give these rabbits some supplementary lessons to increase their cultural level and knowledge. He hoped that by persisting for 10 days, he could also increase their IQ.

So he squatted in front of a big tree with a group of rabbits.

Yi Zheng hung an oversized stone slab on the tree. Then he rode a large rabbit and used a piece of limestone as a pen to quickly write the words ‘Sun Tzu’s Art of War’!

“Everyone, from today onwards, we will learn ‘Sun Tzu’s Art of War’! Do you know about ‘Sun Tzu’s Art of War’?” Yi Zheng asked.

The rabbits stared at him blankly.

Yi Zheng immediately erased those five words. “This is a little difficult for you guys. Let’s start with some enlightenment education. Well, let’s start with the ‘Analects’.”

He had just finished writing the word ‘Analects’ when he saw that the rabbits below were already staggering. Their eyelids were getting heavier.

He grabbed a rock and threw it, staggering a rabbit.

“Everyone, look over here!” He shouted, pounding on the blackboard.

Only then did the rabbits do their best to perk up and stare at the blackboard.

Yi Zheng said, “This word is called ‘Analects’! Repeat after me!”

“Analects!” the rabbits managed.

Yi Zheng gave him a thumbs-up and said, “That’s right, it’s the Analects! These are the life quotes of Confucius’ disciples from thousands of years ago.”

The rabbits seemed to understand.

Yi Zheng began to teach. “Read it with me: Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Is he not a man of complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?”

The rabbits shouted after him.

Then, a rabbit raised its hand. “Boss, what does it mean?”

Only then did Yi Zheng remember that it was indeed difficult to understand the ancient language without translating it.

Yi Zheng was about to make a move when a rabbit suddenly stood up and said, “I know!”

Yi Zheng did not expect there to be a smart guy among his rabbits, so he encouraged this rabbit, “Explain.”

The rabbit stood up, and Yi Zheng’s eyes lit up. It had grown to 1.8 meters tall and was the tallest among the rabbits. It was even bigger than the one at Yi Zheng’s feet. Yi Zheng drooled at the sight of its majestic muscles. It was just short of a handful of cumin and chili noodles!

The rabbit scratched its head and said, “Doesn’t that mean that we should learn how to fight from Boss and practice more when we’re free?”

Although the rabbit’s explanation wasn’t quite right, it seemed right to put it here.

The main point was that Yi Zheng was already very satisfied that these silly rabbits had this realization.

Yi Zheng said, “Keep explaining.”

After being encouraged, the rabbit’s confidence increased. “The second sentence means that you can’t do it alone in a fight. You have to call your brothers from afar and kick them in the circle!”

Yi Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and thought to himself, “I hope Confucius’ coffin is tightly covered…”

However, Yi Zheng did not argue because he felt that this explanation suited his team.

What Yi Zheng was about to face was a wolfish combat legionary. He didn’t want a lamb, so he acquiesced.

When the other rabbits heard this, their eyes lit up as if they had heard a wise saying and tried to remember it.

The rabbit continued, “The last sentence is even easier to explain! People don’t know our reputation, but we’re not angry. We’re already being very gentlemanly by not kicking him!”

“Roar!”

The rabbits clapped in excitement.

Only Yi Zheng was speechless. After silently cursing, he also applauded.

Although the explanation was wrong, morale rose. Moreover, these rabbits were clearly more concerned with this explanation.

“Confucius said that I have to teach according to their aptitudes. This can be considered teaching according to their aptitudes…” Yi Zheng thought to himself.

However, Confucius probably never dreamed that one day his ‘Analects’ would be used on a group of rabbits.

“Ding! The rabbits have absorbed new knowledge. Their collective intelligence has increased slightly, and their battle intent has increased slightly.”

Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment before he could not help but laugh wildly. “Old Master Confucius, you’re really a big shot in the education world! With just ‘Analects’, you’ve enlightened these rabbits. Haha…”

Yi Zheng was originally giving a lecture as a last resort. The purpose of his lecture was to have a goal that could increase the intelligence of the rabbits, but he did not really expect it to be achieved. His direct goal was to make these rabbits think a little more intelligently…

He never expected that teaching with ‘Analects’ would improve the rabbits so simply, directly, and violently!

He scanned his attributes. They didn’t contain either Intelligence or Battle Intent. Clearly, they belonged to a hidden attribute that didn’t show.

However, those silly rabbits’ eyes were not so unfocused anymore. They were a little more energetic.
